Use Of Concentrate The Filtron® extract is highly concentrated. The amount of concentrate needed to make a cup of coffee varies, depending upon the brand of coffee used and the strength desired. Because the slightest amount of concentrate influences the strength of your coffee, experiment until you establish the right amount needed for the most satisfying cup of coffee. Also great for iced coffee, smoothies and recipes calling for strong coffee.
(8) Use at least one ounce of concentrate per 6oz. of hot or cold water. (one oz. = 2 Tablespoons).
For those who are advised by a doctor against drinking coffee, ask your physician to write us for a chemical analysis of coffee made by the cold water process. Many doctors will permit their diet restricted patients to drink coffee made the Filtron® way. |
